Revs never drop fast enough IMO. Especially on the 1-2 shift. I hate it. I live with it, but given the choice, ANY time a MT car needs a new clutch, I'd put in a LW flywheel.

I expect to pay the 1K for extended maintenance on the 330i. I am guessing at some point in those 100K miles it will need a new clutch. I wonder if they would let me put in a LWFW.
